Anytime we have to make more memories, traditions, connection with our kids, we're all for it.

Hey, we're Shan and Ryan Tripp parents of five on a journey to discover what it takes to raise

great humans while enjoying the heck out of life along the way.

Sometimes it's easy to let the weight of everyday life parenting,, marriage, finances get in the way.

But what we found is that as you break out of the norm and do life a little bit differently,

a whole new world can open up to you.

So if you're ready, we would love to invite you on this journey with

this as we pull back the curtains and have a whole lot of fun along the way. And it's

true what they say life's a trip. This is our story. How will you write yours? Let's go. Welcome to the Life's a Trip Podcast.
